What do you do with your competition certificates?

I have a binder with every certificate inside it's own plastic sheet protector. I thought I was crazy by doing it, but it turns out Sam Boyles happens to do the exact same thing .

I do that, too. How funny.

Me too!

Me too!

We don't get certificates for cubing here

I thought, there was a WCA rule that said that there have to be certificates?

Yeah at least for first place I think...

No, the rule is "6d) Organisation teams of competitions should have (at least) certificates for all category winners, signed by the leader of the organisation team and by the WCA delegate."

Because of "should", it doesn't make it a hard requirement.

I think I'd maybe hang them somewhere if they were on harder paper (I know the ones I printed were terrible), for some reason the one I got at NE open was on printer paper, and all the other ones were on hard paper...

They're all back in Vancouver probably on the wall or something.

On the wall.

Certificates in a stack. All of my medals are hanging on the doorknob to my closet. It's noisy.

Show off.

Kind of cool that some people hang it up on the wall. It's nice to know that certificates are appreciated since they are an extra pain to make when organizing a competition. When I make them for my competitions, I use good quality paper. Some people don't realize that nice certificates cost a good bit of cash.

 

[KboyForeverB]

I hang it because it's rare for a cuber like me

 

[cuberkid10]

I pin mine to the wall... but it's the smallest friking wall ever, so If I were to ever get another, Id need a new wall.

Away with them! I burned some after Benelux 2010 actually (hooorible results) and gave some away...
But most of them are on the stack in a closet somewhere

When we attend the same competition and win stuff, I trade certificates with Chris Dzoan. So I have a couple of OH awards and Chris has some BLD awards. It's funny because I suck at OH and Chris hasn't gotten a BLD success in competition since 2006.

Certificate smoke, must smell good

 

[Olivér Perge]

I kept all of mine, in the order I got them. Once my mom suprised me and got all of them covered in plastic, it looks nice.

I don't think it is cool, Erik. Not what you do with the certificate, but the fact that you tell everyone. As Kandrew said it is an extra effort to make it for the organizers, it's not like toilet paper or tissues. On the other hand think about the people who hasn't got any of them, and want one. It's not a good motivation now, is it?

Exactly. I wouldn't burn my one certificate, even though it has someone else's name on it, then mine written next to it.

Mwhaha! my name, that doesn't have anything about me now does it. i got 4 certificates and i respect them greatly

 

[ExoCorsair]

I have a few that my mother framed on a shelf back home, with the rest of my puzzles.

 

[Rubiks560]

I put them in a binder.

 

[ShadenSmith]

Mine are usually lost somewhere among Chester's. Probably in a city dump somewhere.
